If Philadelphia moves slowly in some o
her . reforms and improvements, still she
moves,and yesterday a grand move was made
in the ;linage rof the - hill,by both branches of
Councils, for , the erection. of our much-needed
public buildings on Independence Square.
For years Test, :the Evganos Burnam has
labored in behalf of this movement,and •con
tinual‘dropping‘has at last worn away the
atones of prejudice and old fogeyism, and
, Councils have crowned their year's work by
an , acCwhich will be of incalculable benefit to
the pity.
The erection of the public buildings of
'Philadelphia on the Walnut street front of
independence , Square has been advocated too
lOrg and too thoroughly to need any
demonstration of its necessity and its wisdom
now. The measure, as adopted by Councils,
and as it will undoubtedly meet the approval
oflisyorlteidichael, , , is not a half-way one.
L comprehends, not ; only the erection of
suitablehuildings, but also the removal of
tbe•unsuitable ones that now disfigure the
spare, Independence Hall Is to be relieved
from its appended wings, and is to stand, as
it should, 'Woe in its glory," on Chestnut
-street; and that architectural abomination,
the new •Court-House, the laughing-stock of
strangers and the shame of citizens, is to be
swept away in the general demolition.
Now there are two grand principles
dud must be taken up by the Commission, if
they wish the support and approval of the
.00mmunity. The new public buildings must
net be made an architectural botch, and they
must not be made a political job. The fright
ful blunders that have been made all over the
tilnited States, in erecting public buildings,
• stand as so many beacon-lights to warn us
off from running into the same absurdities
• and failures; while the still more frightful
• extraysgances which have drained the
treasuries of. New York to enrich those who
have organized the erection of public build--
, ings into gigantic jobs, give us ample lessons
as to what we may expect, unless the Com
- 'Omission shall prove itself worthy of being en
, I trusted with this important responsi
bility. The gentlemen who have
'been named on the Commission, in
•
addition to the ez
.officio members, are all
•substantial, practical business men, who are
, likely to apply common-sense principles to
t , " the discharge of this duty, and who will do
Itheir best to give us such a -structure as will
j -combine with economy and suitability, such
Jarobiteetural taste as will make the new
buildings a credit to Philadelphia. A. fine
pile of public buildings, set fairly back from
Walnut street, and not perched up in the air
ty the tiresome flights of steps that disfigure
rileitine Court-House of Lancaster and other
public buildings, will add greatly to the or
xiamentation of the city; while a failure,
.either in external design or in interior fitness
` for its--uses will make it an eye-sore for all
- ,coming• generations.
We heartily congratulate Councils , m 1 the
weemplishment of this good work, so far as
grey are concerned, and we congratulate the
ccanmsulity at-targe that we are to have the
Government of Philadelphia decently pro
vided d'or at-last.
I 's • •'EME.OZINILGUS NUISANCE.
j' proposition to revive the old omnibus
nuisance an Broad street is, it now appears,
•as distasteful to .the residents of that fine
avenue aßgitis to the thousands who desire to
see the street saved for the purpose of a
a public drive. The idea has been indus
triously circulated that this resurrection of
the old unisaneuis advocated by the property
owners and householders of North Broad
street, an d 'we were-led into the same error
by the way in which the movement has been
stated by those interested in its success. We
.are assured that no such wish is entertained
try the residents of Broad street, and even if
;it were, it should not be indulged. Within a
it men , few months the remaining railroad
.sracke are to be removed from Broad street,
And then there will be seen the cpmmence
` 7 3;rxtent of those improvements that will soon
•
. make it the finest, as it is the longest, street
'in Amerkca. To re-introduce the stupid old
tonvey.encee that have been rejected for
•,L4 put, at thia . late day; is to take a back
4 4 . 1 ,'Ilirstrd step for which there is no excuse and
ich ehauld not be tolerated by a comma

-AV WIT.
Onaly over the devoted head of , Philadelphia.
One of its most pious writers ; whore. 'Oliva
-
roue and chastelove for the , female sex seems
to have led him to be - a special champion of
a wretched child-niurdereis in this city, has
determined,to take us all in hand, and re
form us. HaTing slandered and abused
all our virtuous women and men, in his re
ports and editorials concernhig this convict,
he now proposes - to try and elevate - them to
the New York standard of purity and intelli
gence, and as a means for this end, he will
establish here a Philadelphia Wor/d/ It
seems that he considers this community
wholly benighted' because it has no news
paper—that is no World newspaper. True,
there are certain publications here, that have
reacheffthe dignity of being able to excite
his wrath. But he ecornfully refuses to
name them. He only indicates them by
withering innuendo; and he tries to
terrify their proprietors out of all
propriety, by threatening to extinguish them
with a World! There would be a certain
reciprocity in this, for the 'New York com
munity wee indebted to Philadelphia for lay
ing the fOunditions of its own World. True,
the service was not great or valuable. but it
ought not to be forgotten. Now. if New
York brains and capital come here to evan
gelize Philadelphia according to the system
of the World, they ought to receive a hearty
welcome, and the Burxrcue for one will - give
it. But how about the Age, which b a re
cegnizell and able orgart of the'party that the
World supports satlthat•supportathe World
on its Atlantine shoulders? How about that
lively little Democrat,the Evening Herald?
How, about the young and vigorous little
Gkbe, which has already, before going once
areand its orbit, come into collision with the
World? Is there room in this little sphere
of .Philadelphia -for a. Wield EU3 Well in -a
Globe? _Would' not one be In danger Of
swallowing up the other? The Globe is al
ready justly indignant at being accused of
taking anything, anything out of the World,
and if the World should try to establish
itself here and get pitched into by the Globe,
there might be a c,onvalsion of nature that
would even make the people of the Quaker
city to quake. But a new World might be
a boon, and two boons of the kind—
one for New York and, one for
Philadelphia—would go far towards perfect
ing human civilization and refinement. The
Philadelphia World would, however, be ex
pected to keep a close watch aver New York.
and it would have especially to send reporter;
to the Tombs and to Blaukwell's Island, to
hunt up- interesting murderesses, who might
be made objects for'public fireetingsin Philo
deltilia.' The world at large, like Alexander
(the Great, not the Collector), is sighing for
more Worlds, end if our sweet-tempered
New York contemporary should come on a
carpet-bagging expedition to Philadelphia,
and give us a special World of our own, to
be conducted - in the manner indicated, the
BULLETIN at least will give it a good notice
and help it adong in every way possible:
Vice-Presidenitolfax is an little known,
personally, to our citizens, that we are parti
cularly, glad to announce the brief visit which
be makes to Philadelphia to-day. Mr. Col
fax was invited . to meet our people on several
occasions, during the fall campaign, but was
prevented from doing so by his numerous
eagagements. He has now accepted an 4n
vitation from the Union League and will ar
rive in the city this evening, accompanied by
Mrs. Colfax. The Vice-President elect dines'
to-morrow evening at the Union League, and
will receive the members of the League at
large, at nine o'clock. We are not advised
of the length of Mr. Colfax's stay in Phila
delphia, but presume that his public duties
will make it too short to permit him to give
our citizens generally the opportunity, which
they so much desire, to meet one who-is held
in such high esteem by them, and to whose
elevation to the Vice-Presidency they so
largely contributed.
e b 9 llluyvotter Collection—Final
Side To-night.
The prices obtained by Mr. Scott at last even
ing's sale were so low as to formAltrong induce
ment to bargain-hunters to try itherN2rtune to
night, when a much better selection .it •-o . ed.
Ae specimens of the figures reached we may , -
stance Nos. 27, by Mnsin, Beach scene, $185; 3(
Damschroder, The Lesson, $200; 63, Janssens:
The Kitchen Maid, $265.
We repeat, the gallery which is on final exhi
bition to-day, and will be distributed to-night, is
of a much higher quality of art. It contains
amongst others the following undoubtedly good
pictures: Schlesinger, "The First Prize," No.
108; a jranc-tireur, having won a gilt cup at the
mark, bursts in to his delighted wife and children,
•fiourishing the prize, and looking deliriously
happy and very handsome in his hunting
dress; a wonderful gust of life sweeps all
through this composition. Jansen, No
-112, landscape with shepherd and
animals, very good, and recalling the rich effects
of Oswald Achenbach. No. 116, do Noter and
Col, " Preparing for Christmas," a large group
of still life, too gaudy, but still Imposing; one ob
ject, a plucked turkey, is almost more natural
than nature. Verechunr, No. 119; four admira
bly.deeigned horses, of heavy build, waiting out
side a building in company with two human be
ings and two dogs. De By landt, 126, a very deli
cate lake-scene of upright shape, wharf in
the foreground, and ascendine mountains veiled
in skilful atmostdiere.—Ten Kate, 131, interior
of ca . barai, gameMards, with nine small figures.
—lBB, Stroebel, interior, courtyard, and courtly
figures, in a good tffect of light.--141, Miss Bon
ner and Col; "Taking it Easy;" a driver smoking
beside his cart, while the doge rest—Damschro
der, "Opportunity," No. 160.—A fair-scene; with
mountebanks, somewhat in the manner of the
English Frith.
We hope that sufficient activity, at this ac
tive season, can be conjured up among buyers to
excite wholesome competition tonight for the
above and other pictures forming the remainder
of the.catalogue. Last evening. ,wo might have
stated above,a moiety and more were pawed and
withdrawn.
The sale begins at 7X, at Mr. Scott's Gallery
opposite the Art Academy. Tickets, which are I

WASHINGTON. Dec. 18.—The following is
a portion of the racesrks of Judge
Woodward. -of - Pennsylvania, made yesterday
on 'Math= Menem. 'lll the WI of
the q .__ 1838 st political contest clime on between
David Porter e l the Democratic noldinatef
for Governor of Pennsylvania, end Governor
Hitler, who was up for re-election on the
Amtletsserde ticket. Mr. Stevens did his utmost
for Ritter. He brought into fail play notonly
all his great resources of eloquence, wit and
sarcasm, but, as Canal Commissioner, having the
touted of considerable patronage, he also Wart
gurated a system of colonization for political
effect. which politicians have improved upon and
practiced more or less ever since.
Porter beat Ritter-- d e 11338 s and then Mr.
Stemma -nude the capital mistake of Ms life in
determining to treat the election as if it had trot
oak:med. This brought on the "Buckshot war."
That disturbance made no strain upon our politi
cal institutions.. Indeed it is doubttni if it excited
as much attention from the people of the other
States as its importance demanded; but abroad it
was looked upon as a portentous event.
The late Mr. Dallas, our then Minliter at the
Court of St. Petersburg, told me he was annoyed
by daily notes from the whole diplomatic circle,
anxiously inquiring for the news from-Bards
burg, while his correspondents at home treated
the subject as too Insignificant to allude to;
and therefore be had no information to comma
nieate. Bat the "Buck Shot War," if it wrought
no great political revolution, took Mr.
Stevens out of political, life for many
years. lie removed to the city of
Lancaster and addressed himself, with great
ability and sueeess, to the practice of his profes
sion. It was haY privilege to know mach of him
as a lawyer, and it affords me far more pleasure
to contemplate his professional than his political
career.
But, Mr. Speaker. I have said enough to in
dicate the high regard in which the deceased
was held as a lawyer in Pennsylvania. Differ
ing from him tote coelo in politics and
religion, I cannot think that the final influence
of bis great talents upon the public
mind was salutary, nor do I think pos
terity, to whom the arbitrament belongs,
will rank him as a benefactor of his race. But,
nevertheless, there was much in him to ad
mire. His honesty and directness of purpose:
his courage; his scorn and contempt for the low
arta of political tricksters; his generosity to the
poor, for his band and his heart
were as . ' open as the day, to them ; his
learning; his eloonence; his temperance,
his industry; his firth will; his self-poise;—these
were the qualities that constituted his-great
ness and his excellence, and if his
fame outlasts the ago in which he
lived, it will be because it is built on these loan
lindens.
"De mot-lois nit nisi bonurn." Dr. Johnson
thought thatfor bosom :we should reed
m
reru I ' approve
__the criticism,
and I esteem it high praise of Mr. Stevens, that it
can be said of him that he so posed through life,
that his name can endure--the application of the
maxim even in its approved reading."

will be found interesting:
The negotiations have not been condected here,

been two ects of negotiations pending: First—
Tbe company 'brined to dig thescanal applied in
proper form to the Colombian Government
for concession of the right way. Second—The
United States interested itself in behalf of this
Company, and in order to secure the establish
ment of atanal, and to Protect it, made negotia
tions for a treaty similar to the one recently
signed between Nicaragua and the United States.
Notwitbstar,ding the good intentions manifested
by the Colombian Government, the negotiations
have not, from some unexplained cause, made as
much progress as our Seeretary of State desired.
